Hi Folks,

So, the Open Solaris folks released their OS micro benchmarks and I
have hacked (in the best and worst way of saying that) the code to run
on FreeBSD -CURRENT.  I have only just tried this on a nightly build
that it less than a week old.  There isn't a lot of documentation at:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/performance/libmicro/

but it should be easy enough to figure out the gist of each test.
Tests that required shared pthread mutexes and condition variables do
not work and are listed as elided in the Makefile.FreeBSD.  The code
requires gmake to build.  Just unpack the tarball, cd in to the
unpacked root directory, type "gmake" and then "./bench" when the make
is finished and the test will run.  The tarball is here:

http://www.codespelunking.org/downloads/libMicro.tar.gz

I plan to make a  port of this this weekend, but would like some
feedback on this set of benchmarks.  If they're useful I think we
should make them part of a nightly benchmarking strategy.

They are released under the CDDL (Solaris's open source license) so
I'll need to know from someone what the issues are with that and
ports.  Of course I'll feed my mods back  to the authors, but other
issues might crop up.

Later,
George
